Keith, In 1951 for the Super-A, the long solid rod that connects the hydraulic unit rockshaft (left side) to the rear, fender-mounted rockshaft was called a 'lift link'. Both were 'special equipment', that is, they were bought separately for the tractor as needed for cultivators and other equipment. The sliding collar pin has its own hole in the acute-angled 'L' bracket on the left side fender rockshaft and its hole is smaller (if I remember correctly) than the 2-equipment attachment holes on the other leg of the 'L'. The opposite end of the lift link ends with an 'o' shaped hole to fit into the front hydraulic unit rockshaft attachment point and attaches with a hardened pin held in place with a spring-loaded cover. I am not familiar with the differences between the 140 and the Super-A, but they are probably very similar. Can't you straighten your lift link? They often get bent when the user doesn't give the sliding collar enough movement room for some rear mounted equipment, such as a 3-point brush cutter, to rise up as it follows ground contours (Don't ask how I know that). The front hydraulic unit rockshaft is rigid in the position it's set to and it won't back off under pressure, so if something has to give, it's usually the lift link. You should have a locking collar on the lift link forward of the sliding collar, which you can loosen and move forward to allow a rear mounted implement to freely rise up if need be. Hope you can find something useful in this description.
